sound sample of this flute

|
  
Measuring
22 1/8" in length, with a 15/16" diameter sound
chamber, this
6 holed,
unsplit Coast Redwood (Sequoia
sempervirens ) branch
flute
is
tuned to an F minor
pentatonic scale, modes 1 & 4, playing 3 upper octave
notes as well
as the gypsy scale. Some
of the red colored bark has been left on,
contrasting nicely
with the exposed and finely finished wood
grain. Any knot holes have been inlaid
with
crushed malachite. A few surface checks that
happened when the
fallen branch had dried on its own, beneath a grove of
Redwood trees
that grow at Descanso
Gardens, have been inlaid with malachite as
well. Elk
lacing
with malachite and
horn bone
beads holds
the
bird to the nest, the bird fitted with a redwood heartwood
shoe to aid
against
wetout.
